[QUOTE="Calico_Jack73, post: 3714430, member: 14403"] Personally I quite like the nWoD. Mortals were never totally acceptable PC choices in the first. Like you said though, just my opinion. As far as your second point... I couldn't agree more. Generally, while playing Vampire: The Masquerade I never really went crazy with buying books. You only needed the core book for the rules and character creation. With very few exceptions the other books were just "_______ by Night" setting books with very little crunch. I never felt like I needed any more books than the minimum ones I originally bought to get into the game. Therefore, when a new edition came out I really didn't mind. I replaced the core book that contained the crunch but held onto all of my fluff books. With D&D 3X going the way of the dinosaur I'm looking at a huge loss of my gaming investment. In addition to the PHB, DMG, XPH, and the various MMs there are the "Complete _______" books, the PHB2, and the DMG2 in addition to the fluff books. While I know nobody is saying that I HAVE to get rid of them, they are more or less worthless. It is always easier to find groups playing the current edition than the older editions. If I want to play then I'm afraid that I'll have to suck it up and purchase the new edition. [/QUOTE]
